Symptoms and Prevention of Toxoplasmosis in Cats and Dogs

What to Do When a Hamster Suddenly Has Babies
A doe bred during heat gives birth in about two weeks, so be ready. Right after birth: separate any cagemates at once (they may eat the pups), keep the cage quiet, dim, and hidden with extra bedding and full food and water (the mother raises them alone), never touch the pups — your scent makes the mother reject or eat them, and if you must move them use a spoon; feed the mother rich food (mealworms) for milk, and split the pups to their own cage after weaning to avoid fights or inbreeding.

Grabbing a hamster from behind or above, or forcing it (just woken, hungry, or pregnant) scares it and risks a bite; never touch ears, tail, or belly until trusted.

A rabbit may not cycle from being too fat or thin, lack of winter light and greens, disease (vaginal or oviduct defects needing culling), or simply being too young to be sexually mature.

A breeding buck must be purebred, healthy, and produce high-quality semen, which requires complete nutrition, proper body condition (about 70 to 80 percent fill), and rational use, roughly a 1:8 to 10 buck-to-doe ratio with limited daily matings. House bucks singly, mate in the buck's cage, and check reproductive health before each pairing.
